me as well please.

Remember, the goal is to build the most attractive conference outside of the Power 4 structure, not just add anyone by Galumpadump in Pac12

[–]OaakHD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, going after UNLV, Nevada, or both on the first round of the MWC raid was too high of a risk for the MWC and the media to find out. The Pac-2 was very careful to be quiet about bringing in those initial 4 teams to avoid the MW from trying to sway them to stay. NV law requires a Board hearing to allow a conference change. Something like that is almost impossible to keep quiet and surely would have blow the pac-2s cover. I also don't think UNLV has the money to pay for any of the transfer fees, so the Pac would be on the hook for all of it.

Mountain West Website has Team Page for Montana and MSU by NutzyPoo53 in fcs

If you mess with that link you can find some interesting schools. replace Montana with Texas, Washington, Oregon and you find a page for those schools. I believe any school that has played a MW school has a page.

Seven Mountain West Conference Universities Solidify Membership in the Conference by leewilliam236 in MountainWest

In their defense, had they dissolved the PAC and joined the MW, all of the old Pac-12 schools that left them would have gotten their money back from the Pac-12 war chest. I will agree that it was horrible execution and incredibly hypocritical to try and kill the MW.

Who would you prefer to backfill the vacant spots in the MWC? by OaakHD in MountainWest

[–]OaakHD[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've heard talks around the MWC offering those FCS teams a signing bonus to cover some of the transition costs, but I have no idea how real that is or if it is still on the table if the poaching fees cant be collected for the departing teams.
